I am hoping somebody might establish relationships between these events: Dec. 3, 1816 Stephen DEVENISH and Eliza RALSTON marry at the Baltimore City Station Methodist Episcopal Church, Baltimore County, Maryland. (Marriage Index: Maryland, 1655-1850, Ancestry.com) Is this the same Stephen Devenish? DEVENISH, Stephen State: IN Year: 1820 County: Jackson County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: No Township Listed Page: 263 Database: IN 1820 Federal Census Index In the 1820 census, Stephen's family consists of one son under 10, one male 20-40 years, one female, 26-45 years and one female 45 or more years. Washington County, Indiana Marriages: MILAM, Harley H. Spouse: DEVENISH, Eliza Marriage Date: 24 Jul 1823 Could this woman be the widow of Stephen Devenish? And finally: Eliza J. MILAM married William COLMAN in Fountain County, Indiana on 19 Oct 1854. (Indiana Marriages from 1845-1920 on Ancestry.com) This final record seems a bit of a stretch, if it is the same woman.
